U.S. cities on high alert after U.S. bombs Iran

Major U.S. cities are preparing for potential violence after the U.S. bombed nuclear sites across Iran.

New York City, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and other cities are surging law enforcement resources at religious and other sites to prepare for potential retaliatory attacks as Israel's more than weeklong war with Iran escalated with the U.S. involvement.

The cities said they had no credible threats of violence but we're taking steps out of an "abundance of caution."

"There are no known credible threats at this time and out of an abundance of caution, LAPD is stepping up patrols near places of worship, community gathering spaces and other sensitive sites," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wrote on social media. "We will remain vigilant in protecting our communities."

New York City posted a similar message.

"We’re tracking the situation unfolding in Iran," NYPD said in a post on X. "Out of an abundance of caution, we're deploying additional resources to religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites across NYC and coordinating with our federal partners. We’ll continue to monitor for any potential impact to NYC."
